Happy Birthday Merlin Bird Mossa
Merlin and his infamous moose nose, is pictured on the right of his mother, Nina Ballerina - these are the dogs that inspired the birth of Four Paws Acupuncture!
During my time at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, I learned how to treat Merlin with acupuncture, herbs and cooked for him. At the time he was 13 yrs old and suffering with hip dysplasia, arthritis and sometimes incontinent.
Merlin's walking improved. His incontinence was less frequent and he seemed calmer and had less pain. He lived to be almost 15 and is now over the rainbow with his mother Nina Ballerina who passed a few years before him. Thanks to these dogs, I finally realized what I wanted to be
when I grew up.
February 1st is a holiday for all dogs. Make sure to give yours an extra treat and kiss in Merlin's honor.
